Minutes

Added this milestone: jaxb and jgit. Beth plans to add Linux Tools' autoconf, and XML editor for new JAXB res mgr infrastructure. Al agrees this would be a good idea.

Wyatt asked about installation for other subprojects like TAU - Beth responded that inclusion to parallel package is generally aimed at features that do not have any other pre-reqs. Users can install "the rest" from the update site. Wyatt mentioned that they can direct users to their TAU site and it will install the TAU-specific plugins for PTP too.

RDT (Chris) - Remote gnu toolchain is in, Big update to sync RDT cloned content from CDT and bring RDT up to date with CDT has been done by John (e.g. Call Hierarchy). Now handles recursive calls.

Rsync remote projects (Roland)

Main features are working: create project, auto-sync with remote server. Can sync with several remote hosts - always syncs to 'current' host as set in current build config.

If a change is made on remote machine, there is no merge capability with changes made locally. Hope to fix this shortly after Indigo release. Now conflicts are not handled. Must be done manually.

Performance for large projects will be worked on after release as well.

Help for Rsync projects - Roland will work on this.

Jeff will try Rsync projects for Photran soon.

Roland said he copied RDT builder (considered adding extn point to RDT builder, might do that later instead); changes include need to wait for sync to finish before build, and enabling more than one remote machine - additional tab in Build config to specify the remote host.

Jeff thinks Photran will probably work; Roland is concerned about builder not waiting until sync is finished to initiate build.

Roland will write content for New&Noteworthy for rsync

Help/Doc

Al is starting on this for new RM framework. Developer info probably belongs on developer wiki. User-oriented info of how to use new res mgr belongs in PTP user help; PBS is probably the only new Res Mgr for now.

Beth working on bug where Artifact fn call wrapped in #define function doesn't get visited in AST walk. Does show up for DOM AST View (which is now installable from the "CDT Tests" feature only visible by uncategorizing features in CDT update site). So probably we aren't walking down a particular AST node that #define fns are wrapped in. Beth is debugging.

ETFw, other tool integrations (GEM, PPW, etc.)

GEM (report filed by Alan Humphrey via email)

GEM is remote enabled (in M7).

Extensive updates & additions to the GEM help plugin have been created (in M7).

GEM section on New & Noteworthy page is fully updated on PTP Wiki.

Started work on a new scalable version of the Happens Before Viewer. This will be a new Eclipse view and will replace the older, external tool. This new view will probably not be ready for Indigo.

ETFw (Wyatt)

Still improving remote file support. Not complete yet.

ETFw Feedback view (Beth)

Beth intends to fix one discrepancy between general and sample plugins before Indigo.

Photran (Jeff)

Will finish testing soon. Jeff will be on vacation first two weeks of June.
